Preservation of the septic tank Topas for the winter: video how to insulate the tank, works in the winter, with their own hands

If there is a septic tank "Topas" on the site, conservation for the winter of this device is mandatory The cleaning equipment can function properly throughout the year. But if you do not plan to use the device in the winter, then it can be preserved. Proper insulation will protect the device from possible breakdowns associated with the cold.

The need for canning septic in winter

The correct operation of the septic tank is ensured by the regular ingestion of food for bacteria. This function is performed by the faeces. If they stop coming, the bacteria will die without nutrients.

To prevent the camera from freezing, the sunroof is insulated.

With the correct installation of the septic tank, you can not worry about the severe frost. If the sewerage station was installed below the freezing level of the ground, the device will function smoothly. Septic should work all year round.

• Filter;
• Sump( pyramid);
• Compressors;
• Device for collecting particles that have not been recycled;
• Cover;
• Air Intake;
• Pipe for the exit of purified liquid.

For thermal insulation use hay, straw, polystyrene, mineral wool. Do not often open the hatch, so as not to run inside the cold air. Also, it is not advisable to drain the septic tank in the winter. The earth is constantly moving because of temperature changes, changes in the water table. And since the septic itself is light enough, the soil can simply squeeze the device up and all the pipes can be ruptured by frozen water.

Rules for the conservation of the septic tank "Tank", Topas "and" Tver "for the winter

The preservation of the device is necessary when long departures are envisaged. But when a septic tank is used at least a couple of times a week, this is enough to feed the bacteria. Warm drains do not allow the liquid to freeze. All cleaning systems are similar in system operation. Instruments "Tank", "Topas" and "Tver" can be stored under similar recommendations.

Sequential stages of preservation of the septic tank "Topas":

1. Electricity shutdown by means of automation or a special button on the device;
2. Extracting the air compressor by detaching the clips;
3. Dismantling of the discharge pipe;
4. Cleaning the chamber of debris and sediment;
5. Check the presence of water in the container - should be 75%, if necessary, top up.

Preservation of the septic tank must be done before the cold

The cover is insulated with a dense material. Distribute the straw, hay, polystyrene or mineral wool around the edges and pull together with adhesive tape. At the top, the material is also distributed with holes for ventilation. Above, the device is covered with a film with breathing holes.

Best of all, this event takes place at the beginning of winter, when it was already cold, but there are no severe frosts.

So actions on installation of changes of the ground that come with freezing of the soil decrease. Septic "Topas" can work at a temperature of minus 15 degrees. Otherwise it will take warming.

To make ice not damage the walls of the device, floats are made. To do this, use bottles filled with sand. They put them into the cells of the septic tank with the help of ropes, and the ends are fixed at the top.

Recommendations for the insulation of the septic tank for the winter

When buying factory models with all the information, you can read the instructions. But many people neglect this, and we have to search the necessary information on the World Wide Web. To this end, recommendations for the warming of the septic tank for the winter period are presented.

Do not completely drain the water from the septic tank, as this may cause the device to be lifted upwards.

Advice on canning the device:

1. The sequence of all operations must be observed.
2. Make sure to cover the septic tank. To do this, use a thick material( hay, straw, foam) or specially purchased means of warming.
3. The best time for conservation is the beginning of winter, when there is still no severe frost.
4. When using a septic tank all year round, its conservation can be avoided.

For mild winters, the appliance can not be insulated. Preservation of a septic tank will help to survive severe climatic conditions, so for bacteria, comfortable conditions are created. Inside the chambers, there is a temperature of plus 4 degrees.

How septic tank "Topas" works in winter:

operation features The device can last for a long time under heavy loads. The owner of the septic tank "Topas" can choose the operating time of the device: all the year round or stop its operation for the winter. Even if initially conservation for the winter was not envisaged, then it is possible to take this decision spontaneously. You can perform insulation by yourself or contact the service, which can perform both conservation and equipment start-up.

For maintenance of positive temperatures, the top cover "Topas" is equipped with thermal insulation

How does the septic tank "Topas" in winter:

1. Functional performance of the device does not change;
2. High temperatures during septic operation do not allow the device to freeze;
3. Polypropylene housing also contributes to the insulation of the device;
4. Aerobic bacteria, when processing effluents, produce heat, which prevents the device from freezing.

All factors indicate that the working septic can not freeze in winter. But in case of doubt, it is possible to conduct insulation of the upper part of the device. If the device is installed in the northern regions, it is advisable to perform additional warming.

In the spring, a septic tank is being re-opened. Sequence of stages occurs in the reverse order in comparison with winter works.

All procedures will not take much time and effort. It is sufficient to consistently follow the instructions. It is important to do everything carefully so that you do not accidentally damage the system.
